this video helped me so much, I was absolutely stumped on a problem similar to this in my homework but now I get it!!!!

Takes me back to a ‘lightbulb’ logical phrase my maths teacher said for the first time to us way back in the mists of times past, (she said it so many times afterwards to ingrain it into us), “as long as you do exactly the same thing to both sides of the equation, it will remain equal”. Blimey! Was that really 46 years ago? Guess I’m not a ‘young whipper-snapper’ any more...geez...

Multiply by 2 gives 10x square - 17 x +3 =0. 10x 3 = 30 = 15 x 2 and their sum is 17. Hence factors are 1/5(5 x - 15)(5 x -2)= 0. Hence (x -3)(5x -2)=0 . So x= 3 and also x = 2/5. PSD.

what happened to the original -17/10???? it just never got used and im concerned

Just multiply both sides by 2 and then factor it way more easier just in 1 min and ur way took u 8 min...

wrong.... ordered pair must be (x, y), not (x, x)
